Loopbacks aren't useful metrics for message passing. http://bravenewgeek.com/tag/rabbitmq/ http://bravenewgeek.com/tag/rabbitmq/ is the most recent attempt to benchmark the various solutions (that I have found) and my own testing results in slightly less than the results shown...which I can only attest to unfamiliarity with RMQ, Kafka, etc. In the end, ease of maintenance only speaks to the weaknesses of solutions that need tweaking for specific topologies.
